Originally called "Kenduskeag Plantation", the town was founded in 1802 by Maj. Moses Hodsden, who built 3 houses, a sawmill, a grist-mill, a store, and a blacksmith shop in what is now the village of Kenduskeag. At the time, these were likely the only framed buildings between Bangor and the Kennebec River. In 1813 the plantation became a town, and was given the name Levant, which is that part of The Middle East which borders the Mediterranean.

In 1852, the village of Kenduskeag broke away from the rest of Levant, and took part of the neighboring town of Glenburn, Maine, to form the present town of Kenduskeag, Maine.

According to the US census, the town has a total area of 30.0 square miles, of which, 30.0 square miles is land and 0.03% is water.

As of the 2000 census, there were 2,171 people, 784 households, and 609 families residing in the town. The population density was 72.5 people per square mile. There were 829 housing units at an average density of 27.7 per square mile.
